New Release from Michael Brunnock
By Natalie Herman
On June 10, 2007, an eager crowd gathered at The Living Room in New York City to attend the release party of the solo debut of Michael Brunnock, the tremendous So I Do. The night was a success, with music guest appearances by Jenna Nicholls, Libby Johnson, Kelly McRae, Brendan O’Shea, Colin Smith, and legendary R&B performer, Moe Holmes, who teamed with Brunnock on the unreleased ballad, “Sensation.”
Spurred by Holmes’s death on February 12, 2008, Brunnock worked to bring this performance to light so that it could be experienced by more than just those privileged enough to be at The Living Room on that June evening.
To that end comes Michael Brunnock: Live in New York, including the “Sensation”-al collaboration between the two amazing artists. Live in New York will be available from Amazon mp3 downloads on June 20, 2009. MP3 download or physical CD available from CD Freedom, where you can download “Fallen Leaves” for free! Sample “Breastplate” on Reverb Nation and “Niagara Falls” on MySpace.
For brilliant photographs from the original record launch for So I Do, check out Debche Photography’s Flickr page. She captures the magic of the night as only she can, and coupled with your copy of Michael Brunnock: Live in New York, you can pretend you were there.
Of course, if you aren’t big on playing pretend, you can catch Michael on June 28 at Rockwood Music Hall at 11pm, or for the remaining shows of his summer series at Red Lion with the full band, playing the second Monday of the month: July 13 and August 10 at 10pm.
